First Date

First dates are always stressful. You want to make a good impression, but you don't want to try too hard and (hopefully) you want to be yourself... just perhaps your best self.

The first thing to think about is what you'll actually do. You're going to need to imagine a few different first date ideas and see which one seems like the best fit for her personality.

Once you've narrowed it down to a couple of choices, that's just the first step. Obviously, you want both of you to have fun and a lot more goes into that than simply picking a location or activity.

There is a slew of questions that undoubtedly pops into your internal monologue, which could drive anyone crazy.

What should you wear? How should you act? Will you share your first kiss? When will you have sex for the first time? (You might be getting ahead of yourself with that one, but let's be real, the question crosses all of our minds). What’s first date etiquette? Are there rules you should know about?
